Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS, Wii U)

[Tain]

Trying the Wii U demo of this yesterday was my first time actually trying this series and it was fuckin' weird but kinda neat. Some coworkers are getting in on it so I figure I'll give it a shot.

I think Tain can handle monhun. He might even like it.

Can he set it to super impossible difficulty from the outset?

[Tain]

it took me like three tries to beat the "novice" hunt in the demo, doubt there will be any of that!

I tried the 3DS demo and did NOT like how it handled. Use the D-pad to move the camera? WTF? I hope the retail version lets you map the buttons, because this game screams to use the shoulder buttons for camera movement. The D-pad should be for hot keying items or something, not the camera.

In the 3DS version, there's a Target Camera icon - in the form of a picture of a monster - on the bottom-right of the touchscreen. (Located top-right for the Wii U version.)

Touch that to activate it and tapping the L button will automatically re-center the camera to the monster you're hunting.

Edit: Tapping the L button, without the Target Camera activated, will re-center the camera in whatever direction you are facing.

Sounds like someone has never played monhun before!

Will the CPP work with this? I'll import an j-cppxl if it does.

[Mzo]

Yeah, it pretty much needs it IMO.

Kinda shitty.

From my understanding, the demo doesn't support CPP but the final game will. Still super stupid that they wouldn't highlight the hell out of that feature in the demo and cut it right out.
